The main objective of the present work is the characterization of the performance of a monocrystalline solar panel with a cooling system. Experiments have been developed with two heat sinks with the aim to avoid a decrease on the performance of the photovoltaic panels, which brings a higher energy production. Results show that the photovoltaic panel that uses the heat sink has a better performance than the panel that does not use the heatsink. | Characterization of a monocrystalline photovoltaic solar panel with cooling to improve its performance
